do you need an electrical outlet under the sink for this?

You do not need one. I have had this faucet for 2 and a half years and have not changed the batteries yet. It is our kitchen sink we use everyday, all day. I bought the ac adapter but hubby has yet to hook up my outlet. I wish I never bought the adapter.

If your want to use the optional adapter instead of the battery pack - yes.

no, you have the option for an electrical or battery connection. It takes 6 AA batteries. I use the battery operation because I do not have an extra outlet, and I will mention that I have to change them more frequently than i expected- it likely depends on the amount of use, but i typically have to change them more than once a month. Also, i have several things stored under the sink, so its a bit of an inconvenience to change them.

No, an existing wall switch will not interfere with the operation of your disposal. An InSinkErator power module connects with your disposal and an electrical outlet (under your sink), but the switch operates on an air pump, not electricity. I have attached a link to the InSinkErator installation guide. http://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/Documents/Disposer/sinktop_switch_brochure.pdf

Yes there is a plug and I think the sink is about a foot by a foot. I hope that helps.

It is easily installed under the sink and doesn't take too much room, you should be able to unplug it and take it with you.

Yes. In my bath room, the electrical power source is approx. 12 inches off center of the sink. There is enough electrical wire (length) so that the light fixture can be located where needed.

Yes, it's hardwired from the disposal and plugs into receptacle under the sink which is wired to the wall switch to turn the unit on and off. The wiring and electrical connector do not come with the unit and have to be purchased separately.

I installed a hidden recepticale to plug in to under counter.I am sure a electrician could hard wire it

No, apparently you don't need one. Occasionally, the plug will work its way loose from the outlet - not very often. We just plug it back in and ready to go. We are still happy with this purchase.

Nope, this is all ya need. I had an electrician mount it and put a new outlet, so I can plug directly to it

It's not much. A standard 15- or 20-amp outlet (like one that is probably under your sink for a garbage disposal) will suffice.

You do need somewhere to plug in the power, so if you don't have an outlet within reach of the cable (which is pretty long) you will have to install one.

While my contractor initially installed this unit, I did have to remove and re-install it in my kitchen island for a repair service (control circuit board.) It is a straight plug in so no problem, assuming the outlet is in place. The unit is a little heavy for one person to manage, but it can be handled by two or if you use some sort of hand truck.

Yes, but why do that, position the plug under the counter, you will be glad you did that if you have to switch out the unit,

No. It has to be plugged in. Best not used near basin or sink filled with water.

No, but it if sits below the countertop, the outlets are hidden. If it sits above for most of the time you can plug in outlet covers.

No because it just plugs into a GFCI outlet. You will need to have an electrician instal an outlet under the tub if you don't already have one within reach of the cord.

Yes, and the on/off switch is on the lower part of the cord. It looks great above my kitchen sink.
